London friends, when you’re watching Strictly tonight, spare a thought for a less successful blind comedian, & get tickets for my stand up show on 29th November. I feel it would be gauche of me to tell you how good I am, so here’s a quote from TV’s Miles Jupp.

Halp, they're going to riot (sound on)

Yellow-browed Warbler with @SJB2010 on Wandle Trail this am at the end of Watermead Lane/Poulter Park area. Calling occasionally & seen well @SurreyBirdNews @BeddingtonFarm @ArjunDutta230

There’s an app called ‘Paprika’. Download it. It costs a couple dollars but it’s worth it. Any time you find a recipe you like, you copy the URL, paste it into Paprika, and it will download the ingredients and directions and save it as a simple recipe card. You can curate an entire library of recipes and never have to wade through a web page again. You can scale the recipe to halve/double/etc it, you can change the units (metric/imperial), and you can check off ingredients as you use them so you know where you’re up too. It’ll change your life.

@lunatraktors It was well deserved. It was a brilliant performance.

Thanks Vyvy the video

Well after a standing ovation (!) at @cecilsharphouse, we're safely tucked into our residency at the #CornishBank in #Falmouth, preparing for our show tomorrow at the Church of King Charles the Martyr.

@lunatraktors Feral creatures of South London already have their tickets in 🙂

Can't wait for Saturday, feral creatures of Camden! Get your tickets in xxxxxx

@findlaynapier I just trawl through venues websites that book the music I like or I want to support and then beat myself up that I just missed an artist playing down the road by a day. I've not heard of either of these.

Do you use Bandsintown, Songkick or somthing else for finding out about tour dates? I'm tiring of uploading dates to both platforms every time I'm on tour. Fuel my laziness 😆

That's wonderful news! 🥰Yes, please don't disturb them in any way. Hedgehogs keep their beds quite clean and will pull out any soiled bedding. Just leave a nice big pile of fresh hay beside the house, so they can help themselves to clean bedding. Put it inside a large flower pot or bucket laid on its side, to keep the hay dry.

@BritishBugs @M_G_Tuffen Was?

@M_G_Tuffen that was me

Andrew is becoming one of those toddlers who corrects you on what kind of dinosaur it is

Exceptional night of the finest Cajun and folk & such an interesting Q&A with music journalist legend @psexton3 Thank you so much @dirkpowellmusic & Amelia for a night we won’t forget. The stories, the heritage of this music so deep in your veins & your love of what you do

Some companies - like Jacksons Fencing - offer #hedgehog-friendly gravel boards, like this! 🦔 This is excellent for #hedgehogs and we'd like to see more. Join our campaign for #hedgehog-friendly fences 👇 buff.ly/3D8Dv54 #HedgehogStreet is jointly run by us & @PTES

@soundloungeCIC @3DaftMonkeys This is going to be brilliant.

@shrewsburyfolk @sohsteve Watching this on the stream, amazing!

Silverbum the hedgehog enjoying some left over cat food (in addition to the hedgehog pellets in the feeding station.

Yesterday I accidentally went into the ladies toilet. The lady in there was very chatty. We had a lovely conversation. So much so that she bought a ticket to see my show. She wanted to pay in advance as she have to dash for a train straight after. (1/5)

@lunatraktors @wenshalftime @soundloungeCIC is the South London equivalent, in spirit anyway.

@wenshalftime Lovely place run by lovely folks

Must be 25 years since I was last here 😍

@hedgehogsociety In this video the female was already in the feeding station and this noise is Go away, I think. I've heard her use it on foxes and me when I didn't realise she was there.

Have you spotted or heard hedgehogs doing this in your garden? 🦔 In the mating season males may be attracted by the different smell of females & commence a rather prolonged & noisy courtship - which includes circling & huffing! #FridayFact 📹 Andy & Pippa, Hertfordshire
